Silvanus Saccas

Silvanus Saccas (394-) was a general of the Eastern Roman Empire.

Biography
Silvanus Saccas was born in Campus Iazyges, a Christian who was a good commander with command talent. He became a captain in the legion recruited in Tribus Iazyges, and in the summer of 414 AD he defeated a numerically-superior army of Slavs under Agelmund the Wrathful when they attempted to take Campus Iazyges. For this, he was adopted into the House of Flavii and made a general.

For the next fourteen years, Silvanus Saccas commanded Roman Iazyges legions against the Slavs, pushing them back in their attempts to capture both Campus Iazyges and nearby Colonia Dacia. Saccas won several battles, and by 428 AD the Slavs' faction had been destroyed.
